Saturday's raid near Hanoi was on a railroad and highway bridge crossing the Des Rapides Canal five miles northeast of the center of the city. U.S. Air Force pilots said their bombs either side during the dogfights. Saturday's raid near Hanoi was on a railroad and highway bridge crossing the Des Rapides Canal five miles northeast of the center of the city.

U.S. Air Force pilots said their bombs hit the center and northeast sec- tionsn of the bridge, but heavy Commumst defenses, bomb dust and clouds prevented an exact damage assessment. Communist sources said Saturday's attacks near Hanoi comprised six raids over a 17-hour period and they claimed that more than 100 of the city's residents were killed or wounded. Radio Hanoi declared planes were shot down and several pilots captured. The official Soviet news agency Tass, reporting the civilian casualties in a North Vietnamese Foreign Ministry dispatch, said the U.S.

planes bombed and strafed the Long-Bien bridge spanning the Red River. The reference was to the local name for the mile-long bridge between Hanoi and the Gia Lam suburban district that has been known since French colonial as the Doumer Bridge. U.S. Air Force pilots bombed the bridge for the first time Friday and said they cut the center span. The Doumer railroad-highway bridge provides a key transportation link between Hanoi and Red China.

The North Vietnamese, charg ing that residential areas within and on the outskirts of Hanoi, denounced that foray as a new and extremely serious escala tion" of the war. Coordinated Viet Cong attacks warplanes attacked the the second successive day, on four South Vietnamese army posts in the northern border province of Quang Tri prompted speculation they might signal another period of stiff fighting below the demilitarized zone. Both U.S. Marines and government troops are under heavy pressure there from strong Communist units that intelligence officers believe will try to launch an offensive before the summer ends. Government spokesmen said the compound at Trieu Phong, two miles northwest of Quang Tri City, was the hardest hit.

The guerrillas penetrated the defense line, inflicted heavy casualties on the 100-man garri son and wounded two Australian advisers. The spokesmen said govern ment losses elsewhere were light. The attacks were reported to have cost the Viet Cong at least 41 dead. Elsewhere in the ground war, American spokesmen said there was no sigmticant contact re ported in 35 allied operations A Marine battalion landing team from the U.S. 7th Fleet's amphibious ready group was called off a sweep it opened last Monday in the northern 1st Corps area.

Called Beacon Gate, the operation had failed to locate any sizable enemy units. Final casualty figures were listed as 2 Marines killed and 12 wounded and 13 of the enemy killed. U.S. B52 bombers struck twice at Red targets in South Vietnam. The eight-engine jets dumped tons of explosives on what was described as an enemy troop concentration in coastal Phu Yen Province, about 230 miles northeast of Saigon, and then at a Communist base camp 70 miles north of the capital.

The U.S. Command said the raid on the Doumer bridge, a funnel for all railway traffic between Red China and Hanoi, report the accident to a U.S. Forest Service ranger station. He then led a rescue team to the scene, arriving there about 6 a.m. Saturday.

Barracks, missile sites and railway, road and water transport were among other targets. Navy Skyhawk pilots said they wrecked the Hai Duong military barracks, midway between Hanoi and Haiphong, in attacks pressed through heavy antiaircraft fire.

Lt. Gary Hall, 27, of Fort Scott, remarked on returning to his carrier: "The troops at Hai Duong will be sleeping in tents tonight. There are no more barracks left." Muddy Youth Brought Out LENORE, W. Va. (AP) Bruished, scratched and mud-covered Leonard Boyce was pulled from a caved-in water Saturday after being trapped for almost 24 hours.

The 15-year-old youth had a bluish complexion and was very stiff, rescue workers said. But he was conscious when placed on a stretcher and rushed to a hospital in Williamson, about 15 miles from here near the West Virginia-Kentucky border. A crowd of about 200 persons watched silently as the rescue operations were carried on. They cheered and applauded when the boy mud-caked body was raised and placed on a stretcher. The boy said nothing audible when he reached ground level, but looked around slowly and smiled just slighty.

Tom Farley, of nearby Dela-braton, was the man who pulled Boyce out througej a 30-inch opening about 14 feet down the side of the well after a trench had been dug to the well. Boyce was trapped by falling rock about 5:15 p.m. Friday and was freed at 5:07 p.m. Saturday. A feverish rescue operation immediately began but other small cave-ins hampered workers.

Finally, earth-moving machines dug a deep trench along side the old well and Boyce was pulled out feet first. The well is located an isolated mountain area about 70 miles southeast of Huntington. Throughout his ordeal, the boy pleaded with workers to free him. Tell them to please get me out. I can't stand much more." He was fed water and hot chocolate through a rubber tube during the chilly night.

He re ceived sedatives and a pain-kill- mg injection and nad another shot Saturday afternoon.

Master of ceremonies at the (Continued on Page 11) MOSCOW (AP) Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, in a stern personal message to Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai Saturday, demanded release of a Soviet merchant ship that was the target of attacks by Red Chinese mobs for the second successive day.

Chinese Red Guard mobs attacked the Soviet ship for the second ay in a row Saturday, carried a seaman ashore and threatened to make "short shrift" of the whole crew if still another crewman was not turned over to them, the Soviet news agency Tass reported. The news agency said the Chinese smashed equipment of the merchant ship Svirsk in the Manchurian port of Dairen. The vessel was said to have docked there July 22 to pick up a cargo of salt. Tass reported Friday that the ship's captain, Viktor Korzhov, was seized and beaten up by screaming mobs who manhandled the crew and wrote anti-Soviet threats on the vessel's walls. The agency said the Chinese dragged Korzhov back to the dock Saturday and taunted him.

"The crew of the ship is be sieged and cannot come to his rescue," a Tass correspondent reported from the Soviet Far Eastern port of Vladivostok. "An enormous mob is raving on the embankment" near the ship, he said. Tass said the crew attempted to resist the Chinese who took a seaman identified as Kuznetsov off the vessel. It said the mobs also demanded that Stanislav Ivanov, the second navigator, be surrendered to them. Tass said Chinese authorities detained the Svirsk in a "law less and arbitrary move." In a strong protest note deliv ered Friday to the Chinese charge d'affaires in Moscow, the Soviet government said many in a mob of 1,000 Chinese stormed on board the ship the presence of Chinese officials and "with their direct conniv ance." The note, one of the harshest in a recent series of Chinese- Soviet exchanges, accused the Chinese of deliberate provoca tions intended to complicate relations between the two Commu nist nations.

Among other things, the So viet Union has accused China this year of holding a Soviet ship in Dairen for 2 days last December. Kosygin denounced the "acts of rude violence" against the Svirsk and said the ship's cap tain and some crew members had been "seized and taken to an unknown destination." Kosygin demanded immediate meas ure to insure the safety of the captain and crew and release of the ship from the Manchurian port of Dairen. The demand was made in a telegram to Chou and the text was released by the Soviet news agency Tass. Kosygin's message was the first such personal communica tion in months of deteriorating relations between the two giant Communist nations. But it contained no threat of a diplomatic break.

The message followed reports Saturday that Chinese mobs stormed the Soviet ship, smashed equipment and carried off a Russian seaman, Tass said. Tass reported Friday that the ship's captain, Viktor Korz- (Continued on Page 11) a new tactic to head off TEMPERATURES AAcNair Manhunt Is nder Way; Sheriff's Wife Kilbd Dn Ambush By JAMES CASEY SELMER, Tenn. An all out manhunt was launched in McNairy County Saturday, seeking the killer or killers who ambushed Sheriff Buford Pusser and his wife, killing- her instantly and wounding- Four Children Are Rescued From Mountain; Father Dead him. Pusser, 29, is listed in': fair condition at Baptist Hospital in Memphis with serious face injuries. They were ambushed on the New Hope Road near the Mississippi Tennessee border about 5 a.m.

Saturday. A barrage of bullets from one or more high-powered weapons riddled the car with holes. Mrs. Pusser, 33, died instantly from a massive head wound. Her husband's chin was partially shot off.

Pusser and his wife were answering a call to quell a "disturbance," somewhere near the state line, known as a trouble area. They were apparently headed toward the junction of U.S. 45 and New Hope Road, situated alomst directly on the state line. After the shooting Pusser managed to drive his patrol car about eight miles after radioing in his situation. He stopped just outside Selmer and was met by an ambulance-and other patrol Highway Patrolman J.

Reed of Selmer, who was with Pusser before he was sent to the hospital, said the sheriff mumbled a few words, but added that he was, "addled and incoherent." Saturday Pusser sent word via a nurse at Baptist Hospital that he would give out no statement. Later as he was being wheeled into surgeery, he was asked if he knew his assailant. He re plied: "I don't know." Under the direction of TBI agent Warren Jones of Jack son, bullets were prised from the death car and were sent off for ballistics study Saturday. No spent cartridges were discovered near the ambush site, and by late Saturday officers said they had nothing definite to go on. No weapons had been discovered and no suspects jail ed.

But there was plenty of motive, according to some citizens of Selmer. Lonnie F. Green, a Highway Department employe, put it this way. i i "I've known Buford Pusser for 15 years. "He was cleaning up the bootleggers and the moonshiners the people who had been breaking the law were after him." All over Selmer Saturday, and particularly in the Court House area, people were talking about the shooting, referring to the killer or killers as "them." Pusser had had brushes with death before, usually in connection with moonshiners and bootleggers.

He had beeen the target of two earlier shootings, Continued on Page 11) EUGENE, Ore. (AP) The father of four children has been killed while climbing a mountain with them high in the Oregon Cascades. The children waited through Friday night until early Saturday morning to be rescued, and his wife waited at a ranger station miles away without knowing his condition. The Lane County sheriff's office said a ground party found J. George Schultz of Sacramento, dead and one son injured.

A helicopter flew the body and the children to Eugene, Saturday where the injured boy, Robert 11, was reported in fair condition with a gash on his head and an ankle injury. The other children were Marie, 10, Paul, 8, and Tommy, 7. A brother of Schultz, Robert J. Schultz of Corvallis, said he was with the family, which was climing along a glacier on the middle peak of the Three Sisters mountain group in Central Oregon. He said a landslide knocked the others 200 feet down a glacier and into some rocks.

The brother said he was on a ledge above the rest and couldn't tell exactly what happened. He ran several mues to his car and drove to Sisters, to Humboldt Okays Bond Issue HUMBOLDT, Tenn.
